Most of us want to make a difference. We see suffering, injustice and death, and are moved to do something about them. But working out what that "something" is is a difficult challenge. Effective altruism is a response to this challenge. If you ever want to do any type of altruism in your life, this class will teach you how to do the most good with limited resources. Topics include effectiveness of charities, rationality, expected value utilitarianism, existential risk, longtermism, career planning, and more.
